ESG thought leadership

Incorporating ESG into P&C underwriting - Owning the risk appetite

Long considered an emerging risk for insurers, environmental, social, governance and climate (ESG-C) risks are now one of the most talked about topics in the insurance industry. As such, the importance attached by senior management to this topic has increased.

Integrating ESG into portfolio management and underwriting workflows: the state of the market

Moving towards automation and digitization of the underwriting processes, accurate data and sophisticated analytics are becoming increasingly important. ESG factors and scores offer insurers new insights into risk and decision-making, but they also bring new data integration challenges.

How to develop and integrate an ESG strategy

ESG issues have become key priorities for insurers. Most actions have focused on internal operations, regulatory requirements, and the asset side of the balance sheet. The next step is to consider how ESG can be incorporated into decision-making across their entire business, including underwriting.
